It's powered by a 1.2GHz quad core processor but, unlike Samsung's higher end devices, the E7 doesn't have LTE support and, unlike its lower end devices, doesn't appear to have dual SIM support either.The Galaxy E7, the larger of the pair, is a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display device that will ship with Android KitKat with Samsung's Touchwiz UI - though according to Sam Mobile, it will be updated to Lollipop in the near future.

The Galaxy E7 has a 13-megapixel main camera and five-megapixel rear camera loaded up with lots of selfie features, including wide-angle shots up to 120 degrees, voice commands, palm gestures, and Samsung's post-shot touch-up features.

Other specs include 16GB onboard storage with microSD support up to 64GB, 2GB RAM, a 2950mAh battery, and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity.

The Galaxy E5 has a five-inch display and shares the same processor, storage, and RAM specifications as the E7 but has a smaller eight-megapixel rear camera and five-megapixel front camera as well as a lower capacity 2400mAH battery.

Samsung is doubling down on India with the two new smartphones, as the company is facing stiff competition from local rivals that threaten its dominance in the country's fast growing smartphone market.
